Chapter 221 The Flock of Crows

The death rate was too fast.

It's faster-paced than any Final Destination movie; it feels like Death is really in a hurry.

Li Xuan suggested that, regardless of whether the remaining survivors outside agreed or not, they should be brought to the Queen's Building for unified protection.

If Death were to attack, perhaps it could capture something...

Standin smiled wryly: "No, one or two might be okay, but if there are too many, our Queen's Building will definitely be overwhelmed by the zero-dollar shopping."

Ethan explained the situation from the side.

The American population is currently embroiled in various conflicts and disputes; gender, behavior, all are points of contention.

However, with Li Xuan's insistence, Standin adopted a strategy of first persuading and then taking a firmer approach, gradually bringing back the survivors who were outside...

The temperature was low in the evening.

A strange sight appeared at the Queen's Building: starting from the twentieth floor, a row of crows perched on the windowsills outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on every floor...

21, 22, 23, 24... The crows circled up again and again, as if the Queen's Building had become a crow's nest.

As soon as Li Xuan entered the building, he felt an extreme sense of oppression, as if everything around him was staring at him with a life of its own.

Ethan's head began to throb, and he pressed his hands to his temples, blood trickling from his nose, as he said, "Outside, the armored vehicles transporting survivors are going to explode..."

Li Xuan, who was about to step into the elevator, pulled his foot back and immediately walked outside: "Where is it?"

Ethan said, "It's right on the street in front of the Queen's Building."

Right here?

Li Xuan began to observe his surroundings. The road was bustling with traffic, and there were an unusually large number of crows today—on the rooftops of shops, on utility poles, and on signal towers. It was as if all the crows in the United States had gathered here.

A black armored jeep slowly approached from a distance, moving at a low speed and very steadily.

Li Xuan immediately granted access and left a message on his tablet: "The jeep in front should stop immediately and be aware of any potential dangers around you."

The location is shared, and the Jeep driver stops immediately upon receiving the signal.

The driver saw Li Xuan standing at the door, rolled down the window, and waved: "Should we have the members come down?"

boom! ! !
A deafening crash sounded!
A large truck crashed diagonally into the rear of the jeep, its massive weight causing the jeep to roll over on the ground...

Li Xuan raised his hand and pointed: "Freeze!"

Jeeps are inanimate objects; it's more troublesome to imprison them than to imprison something that has life and a soul!
The car seemed to be frozen in place, its rolling motion halted. But then the survivors inside, bleeding from head wounds, crawled out. The freeze effect wore off, and the car continued rolling out, crashing into a telephone pole and breaking it in two!

Several high-voltage power lines swung down and struck the jeep; one even bounced inside through the broken window.

sizzle...

Sparks flew and smoke billowed from inside the car...

A burst of intense flames engulfed the entire vehicle; no one inside, including the driver, escaped, trapped in the combined attack of electricity and fire.

This is so unreasonable.

There was no yin energy, no fluctuation of magical power, and something went wrong immediately!

Li Xuan rushed over, made a lightning spell with his left hand, grabbed the fallen high-voltage power line with his right hand and pulled it aside, then made a fire-avoidance spell, chanted an incantation, grabbed the car door with both hands, and forcefully pulled it open... The car was completely engulfed in flames, and there were five survivors whose bodies were constantly convulsing and trembling. Li Xuan pulled them out one by one!
Ethan rushed over carrying a fire extinguisher from the entrance of the Queen's Building, spraying out a large amount of fire-extinguishing foam!

The flames gradually died down.

Immediately afterwards, the exorcist organization's resident medical staff at Queen's Building arrived with a stretcher to rescue the person, bringing in cooling, wound cleaning, temporary bandaging, providing care, and defibrillation—using everything they could.

There were seven people in total: the driver, one staff member, and five survivors!
In the operating room of the organization's hospital on the 25th floor of the Queen's Building, after two hours of emergency treatment, the doctor came out and shook his head, saying, "Only two people are out of danger. The others were too badly injured and died as soon as they entered the operating room. They didn't even have a chance..."

The two survivors were the driver and an exorcist; the dead were all survivors of the flight.

Standin's face was grim. He could accept hearing news of death, but he couldn't accept someone dying in front of him; the direct impact would inevitably affect his psyche. Every year, a considerable number of exorcists see psychologists, and even those psychologists themselves often need to see patients with psychological problems.

As of now, there are 150 people left.

It seems that it won't take two months, just two weeks to wipe out the survivors of Flight 215.

Li Xuan walked to the French windows and looked at the dense flock of crows outside. An idea struck him. He secretly made a hand seal with his left hand so that no one could see it, and then suddenly reached through the glass with his right hand, grabbed a crow, and pulled it into the room.

This was a fully grown crow, its wings flapping wildly, creating quite a gust of wind. It was frantically pecking at Li Xuan's fingers, trying to escape...

The crows outside the window were also going berserk, a huge, dark flock, frantically crashing against the glass, leaving pools of scarlet blood on it, and even some crow feathers stuck to it.

Seeing this, the exorcist Thunderbolt strode over, drew the curtains, and looked at Li Xuan with a sorrowful gaze: "You've angered the crows, you're finished! Unless you hide in a completely airtight room and live on an air conditioner, you'll be torn to pieces by the crows if you go out! Don't underestimate these beasts..."

He seemed to be rebuking Li Xuan's stupidity, yet also mourning someone else, a hint of pain in his eyes.

The crow in Li Xuan's hand was still struggling. Its eyes were different from those of ordinary crows; they had a very bloody color, like a bird poisoned in a biohazard movie.

It suddenly stopped struggling and stared intently at Li Xuan.

pat...

The sound of something cracking came from the French windows.

Thunderbolt hurriedly drew back the curtains, only to find cracks appearing in the bulletproof glass, seemingly caused by the crows colliding with it...

This is outrageous!
He staggered back two steps, pointed at the crack, and shouted, "Everyone, run!"

As the sound falls.

The crack suddenly widened, and crows swarmed in, dodging the Thunderbolt, all with one target: Li Xuan...

Scattered feathers filled the air.

They attacked from all angles, with sharp claws and pointed mouths!

Li Xuan had already noticed something was wrong with the crows, so he took out two black maces, swung them, and smashed one of the crows, instantly producing the sound of bones shattering...

Thunderbolt was completely dumbfounded, sitting on the ground.

Facing a dense swarm of crows, Li Xuan actually withstood the attack with his bare hands. The two black maces in his hands were incredibly powerful; the crows that touched them died or were injured on the spot. Soon, the ground was covered with a layer of crow corpses, and those that were not dead were fluttering weakly.

After a while, the thickness of the crows on the ground reached ten centimeters.

Many crows were circling outside, and realizing they couldn't do anything to Li Xuan, they stopped trying to rush inside...
